Upcoming event

11th Annual Ward Summer Student Research Day

Join us at the Ward Summer Student Research Day to celebrate our students and learn about the research projects they’ve worked on over the summer. This year, Holland Bloorview’s research institute had over 1,600 applicants for Ward Summer Student Research Program. Eighteen students were selected from across the country and are working closely with their scientist mentors to advance childhood disability research in the areas of acquired brain injury, applied innovation, child development, and participation & inclusion.
